Vintage Dress Lab - Vote on Which Dresses you want to see as part of the class

We are trying to nail down our summer class schedule and we need YOUR help on deciding which projects to make part of the class.

We're very excited to hold our first "Vintage Dress Lab" sewing class this July! The problem is there are too many great vintage dress designs we'd love to be a part of the class. 

Can you help us and vote on your favorite dress designs out of the following 10 choices! We're looking to find out your top 4 choices. 

Please Use the comment section to voice your opinion. Tell us the names of your 4 favorite vintage dress designs.

Okay here goes. 

And the nominees are:

1. "Twiggy" - Sixties Inspired, Multi-Paneled Dress

Could be made with long, short or no sleeves. Cute little collar is an option as well.
2. "Dynasty" - Late 1960's/ Early 1970's Maxi

Could be made with funky collar or not.

Flower child
Diamonds are a girls best friend
Dynasty

*i always love all the sixties style dresses. i also really love 'ladies who lunch' and 'mrs cleaver' (very classy) but i'd have to make them in fabric with a good stretch in it and not sure they're the best maternity shape ( : i would still make them to wear next year though!

My vote is for:

1. Twiggy
2. Dynasty
3. Flower Child
5. Go Go Scort
8. C'est La Vie (I need to change the bottom of this one to be A-line to accommodate my hips)

I know I'm cheating with five.

I am picking out vintage fabric now and would be happy to make some available for sale during the class!!

I'm quite sure that I used that flower child pattern in the middle view to make my dress for junior prom.
